A solid structure, a memorable chorus, a catchy title. Tons of elements add up to the recipe for a great song, but lyrics are the one that usually get the most attention. As we know, great song lyrics can make an artist’s career — just take a look at Ed Sheeran, Adele, and other songwriters who have won countless awards for their albums. Does this mean that singers must pen deep and meaningful lyrics all the time to make a hit song? Nope, not really.

You know when a song gets stuck in your head, and you find yourself humming it non-stop and maybe even dancing to it? That’s what we’re talking about! So many tracks released over the years have delivered funny, catchy, or memorable lyrics without driving their audience to tears.

Today we’re celebrating the famous song lyrics we just can’t get enough of, whether they’re fun, captivating, or just plain clever. From hit songs to oldies, here are some of the catchiest lyrics ever written!

#1

"And so I wake in the morning and I step outside,
And I take a deep breath and I get real high,
And I scream from the top of my lungs
“What’s going on?” - "What's up?" by 4 Non Blondes
